Swagbucks...I think it really does work!

So I just signed up for a swagbucks account because I have been hearing you can redeem points for giftcards, good giftcards like Target, Gap, Southwest Airlines, etc!

So the deal is you sign up and then use swagbucks.com as your search engine. It is powered by Google. You dont get bucks every time you search but get them every so often and then you can redeem your bucks for gift cards!! I think everyone should sign up because what can it hurt!

Here is a link to sign up and try it out!

Fun Times With Friends!

We have had so much fun with friends this month!

At the beginning of the month we went to the Mavs game with our friends Step and Jon Gilbert. They both got Aggie rings for Christmas from Mom and Dad G so we went to celebrate and dunk! They live in Houston and we wished they lived closer...we love hanging out with them.

All the Aggies!

Next, two of my college roommates and their husbands came to visit. I love these girls so much and miss seeing them! They also live in Houston so we dont get to see each other all that often. They came to meet Pierson and we had a wonderful weekend. While they were here Matt, Emily, and Tobin came over for some fun too! It is so fun to get together with old friends!

Picture with Pierson before they left!

And one of Pierson just because he is so stinkin cute! First bitter biscut! He loved it!

5 months

Pierson was 5 months old on Monday! He is becoming such a joy and is so much fun these days. Nate and I cant imagine life without him. He has grown up so much this last month.

- He started solids about a week ago and it is going pretty well. He wasnt too excited about them at first but he is sure loving his sweet potatoes and was not a big fan of bananas, which is fine with me, the smell of those things makes me gag.


- He has started noticing Bentley and she has become a huge distraction, espically when eating. He will stop everything to watch her and reaches for her when she is close by. Today he started laughing at her when she yawned and laughs everytime I say, "No, Bentley, No", which is very often. :)

- We bought him one of those jumpers that hangs from a door frame and he loves it! He would sit in there for hours if I would let him.

- He is rolling from his stomach to his back all the time but hasnt quite mastered from his back to his stomach. He rolls over on to his side to reach for toys but doesnt want to go all the way. I dont know if he will ever voluntarily roll to his stomach...he hates being on his stomach.

- He sat in his stoller, like a big boy, without his carseat for the first time and I am not sure he knew what to think about it...he was SO quiet.

- He talks ALL the time and has learned how to yell this past week. He can be very loud.

- He tried to mimic me for the first time the other day. It was precious and so cute!

-He can now sit up on his own for a few seconds at a time and loves to play with the remote.

- And last but not least, he is sleeping through the night MOST nights and when I say sleeping through the night I mean not eating at night - going to bed at 7:45 - 8 and waking and eating between 7 and 7:30!! We are still getting up once or twice to give him his paci but that is nothing! I want to give a shout out to my friend Katie who gave me some great advice!

Just hanging out in the tub.

He loves to sleep like this.

In other news, he will hopefully be getting his helmet in the next month or so and he started physical therapy a couple of weeks ago and it is going well. He will probably be in PT for about 5 to 6 months, so we have a ways to go. I am looking forward to getting the helmet - I cant wait to see my boy with a cute round head! :)
